Condition

The sheet is undulated and uneven throughout. Ink or moisture has slightly softened the paper in areas, for example in a small area below the cap of the left figure, resulting in minor holes to the sheet, for example in the lower central section. There is some light surface dirt and white flecks of paper fibre are evident in places. There is a short length of tape under the glass on the left side of the image and in the lower left corner. Held in a simple wooden frame behind glass. Unexamined out of frame.
